Our local club had its annual show this past weekend. It's always based around Fathers Day Weekend, but because that was a week early this year, there were some other area events which conflicted with ours.

Tractor attendance was a little lower, and we didnt have a lot of our feature tractor (Ford) but the people who did come were the tops.
Several Members from GTTalk managed to make it (less two or three I didnt get pictures of)

Ryan and I got to drive the ELF. What a marvelous tractor!

Will and Ryan struck a Deal on a Massey Trailer
And a set of OEM wheel weights (not pictured)

DH1 made it and brought his '66 MF10.

Casey came with an empty trailer to match Sparky's non-existent tractor. (Just kidding thanks for coming guys)
Steve managed to make it to this one with his 314 Wheel Horse.
Ryan brought his MF10, I brought my 63 DB725, SS12 ST16, my Custom7, and KK brought her Commando 8.

We only did one game this year, but had more in the wings if it wasn't a hit. It was called Early Survival Skills and was designed to tie in with our second feature of Indian Artifacts. This was the brain child of my kid. Couldn't be prouder.

You flipped a "Piece of Silver" (quarter) to see if you were a settler or an Indian. (Appropriate Head wear provided )
First you had to either Lasso or bolo a stick
Then you had to go fishing, (magnet on a string with 3 washers in the barrel)
Lastly, you had to use a Bow and Arrow or a Rifle to shoot your supper (pie pan)
All from the comfort of your trusty "steed"
It was scored on points, not time. Our own Caseguy won.
It took a little longer, but the participants seemed to have a good time and the crowd got a charge out of the event and its mishaps.

Speaking of our second feature, I have been to more than a couple artifact shows, and this one had a little of nearly everything found locally. Many of the finds have been very early in history (14,000 to 8000 years old) Many others were from 8000 to the arrival of the early settlers, but all eras of local Native American Culture had some representation. Even some recent pieces from the closest remaining tribe.

A professional knapper did demonstrations thru two days and several other novice knappers and complete newbies to the craft tried their hands at it.
Committee Chair Clarence Harvey and Ryan did demonstrations both Friday and Saturday on the At'latl (a hunting weapon used from around 8000 to 2000 years ago)
Much ancient information was passed on to new generations and hopefully some will help preserve the information.

Nice write up Alan, too bad Steve has been disqualified for waking me at 5:30 am.

I had a great time visiting with everyone and I did use the trailer on the way home. I did not buy anything other than food and a hot chocolate kit while I was there at the show but can't stop thinking of that one knife I liked in the knapping sales section. So Ryan will have to make me one of those in his free time lol.

And put the picture of me actually doing well with the At latl lol. Or at least point out I had a kill shot even after throwing the at latl lol.

Ah, the hot chocolate kit. He struggled, but eventually made something that looked like Hot Chocolate. In all fairness, the water was Luke warm as I had warned the staff about not combining Casey, sharp objects and hot things.
